Design Research Conference of the IIT Institute of Design (Oct 2012, Chicago)

This year’s Design Research Conference seeks to expand the space design research plays in by looking beyond our current best practices. Inspired by the notion of the adjacent possible, the conference will present research from a combination of design and decidedly non-design fields. In the ongoing search to better understand behavior, decision-making, and the evolving implications of data on it all, let’s take inspiration from work in different disciplines.

Call for submissions and suggestions–Ends July 30thDRC 2012 is interested in how tangential topics and discussion outside the typical realm of design may inform the future of design research. Help us make this conference relevant and exciting for you by filling out this form to suggest some presenters you’d love to see on the stage. Feel free to nominate yourself if you have something to share too!
